We have just returned from a fantastic 20 days in Thailand. Our last 10 days were spent at Merlin Beach Resort. We stayed at this resort same time last year and noticed many changes....some not for the best.

We have just returned from a fabulous 2 week holiday at the Merlin Beach Resort. We stayed during the last 2 weeks of June which was perfect timing, the resort was quiet, and we were always able to get sun lounges without a problem. However during our last two days, we noticed a great deal of new arrivals and was... more

We stayed at the merlin beach resort for a girls holiday - four women minus husbands and kids - in June 2008. On arrival the check in and service was outstanding.

I stayed at the Merlin Beach Resort for 5 nights with my partner and another couple in early June 2008, as part of our 14 night holiday in Thailand. We didn't want to stay right in the heart of Patong and most of the 5 star resorts appeared to be too far away from everything so this resort seemed to... more

We stayed at the Merlin Beach Hotel from 30/31 May to June 11 and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. Our group comprised of my wife and I, two sons ( 30 and 21/22 yo ) and one friend ( 21yo ). The resort is reasonably well kept, the gardens very attractive with lots of orchids and tropical plants in flower. The... more

Breakfast- there is nothing at... more
